The Battle of Saragarhi, fought on September 12, 1897, is one of history\u2019s most heroic last stands. It took place at Saragarhi, a remote communication post in the Samana Range (now in Pakistan), which connected two British forts, Fort Lockhart and Fort Gulistan. The battle saw 21 Sikh soldiers of the 36th Sikh Regiment, led by Havildar Ishar Singh, defend the post against over 10,000 Afghan and Orakzai tribesmen. Despite being heavily outnumbered, the soldiers held their ground for hours, inflicting significant casualties\u2014reportedly killing 180\u2013600 attackers\u2014before being overwhelmed. Their bravery delayed the enemy\u2019s advance and gave the forts time to prepare. All 21 soldiers were killed in action but were posthumously awarded the Indian Order of Merit, the highest military honor for Indian soldiers at the time. The battle is celebrated as Saragarhi Day on September 12 each year, particularly by the Sikh Regiment and the Sikh community. Commemorated at the Saragarhi Memorial Gurudwara in Amritsar and immortalized in books, documentaries, and films like \u201cKesari\u201d (2019), the Battle of Saragarhi remains a timeless symbol of courage, sacrifice, and duty.
